Paris is a city for adults and women who really enjoy fashion.

My mother always says, "The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak." I can be very focused and determined. But, I can also be very stubborn. Be flexible be nuanced.

Women show off their personality and character through accessories more than with low-cut shirts and skirts with huge slits.

I want to design dresses for the purposeful woman. Women who have passion - whether that be work - or something outside of work.

Take hints from other women in the office. We are very fortunate to be in a generation where there are a lot of older women in the office. Take a look at what they're wearing.

New York is a much younger city that drives culture. In Paris, older women drive the culture - really drive culture.

My mother. She's 65 now and she has immaculate style. And that's exactly what I want to be.

Every office interprets business casual differently. Feel out your office!

Be flexible be nuanced. It's important to open yourself up to new opportunities and experiences and not be afraid to take risks.

I always want to make sure that I am wearing what I love. What makes you feel good. And you're not wearing for anyone else but yourself.

Authentic love is deciding to live on a one-way street where all the arrows point down the street and not a single one of them point back up to where I’m standing.

When there are kids involved, there's no such thing as divorce.

Border security is a safety issue.

I won’t even pretend I didn’t care. I wanted to win. I mean, if you don’t care about winning the competition, why show up?

Any gospel which says only what you must do and never announces what Christ has done is no gospel at all.

It's just a matter of time before we're late.

States will never be happy until rulers become philosophers or philosophers become rulers.

Regret is the most tiresome of companions.

I tend to write in the mornings.

I never complain. I chose the road of fighting with the Ukrainian oligarchy in 1996, and have paid for this with my freedom and that of my husband, my father and my close friends.
